Canyon Creek Dental - Preston
Dr. Justin Carter
After graduating from Preston High School, I spent my time working with my dad on our family farm. I had always thought about being a dentist, but it was not until a few years after high school that I decided to make that dream a reality. I attended undergraduate classes at ISU and then moved my family to Lincoln, NE, where I completed my DDS degree at the University of Nebraska. I am glad to live and work back in Preston where my wife and I have raised five children. Aside from dentistry I enjoy spending time on my ranch with my family, camping, boating, and gardening. I am fascinated to learn new dental techniques keeping my skills current. My favorite part of dentistry is connecting with patients and helping them to achieve their dental goals.
Dr. Heath Bateman
He grew up in a small town in Ibapah, Utah, Where he was 1 of 180 people that lived there! He gives a special prize to any patients who can honestly say they have visited his hometown! Dr. Bateman considers himself a rancher with a love for his country and the outdoors. He graduated from Utah Valley University with a bachelor’s degree in biology and went on to attend the University of Utah School of Dentistry. He graduated in 2018 with his doctorate in Dental Surgery. He and his wife are making their home in Weston, and will be welcoming their first child in May 2022.
Dr. Thomas Hull
Born and raised here in Preston, Idaho, I worked on the family farm until graduating from Preston High School. I enjoyed the summer’s participating in 4-H, Boy Scouts, and playing softball with the Whitney Ward Young Men team. I did my undergraduate study at BYU and then attended Creighton University in Omaha, NE where I completed a DDS degree. The next nine years were spent in the US Army and then returned to Preston where I have since been practicing dentistry and getting to know the people in this community. Gardening has been and still is my favorite pastime.
Dr. Corby Dixon
Dr. Dixon is from Montpelier, Idaho. A proud graduate of Bear Lake High School, Dr. Dixon pursued undergraduate studies at Weber State University before earning a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Roseman University in South Jordan.
Upon completing dental school, Dr. Dixon embarked on an esteemed career with the United States Army, beginning with a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency in Oklahoma. This was followed by a three-year assignment in Germany, where Dr. Dixon provided essential dental care to U.S. soldiers. The final year of military service brought Dr. Dixon back to Oklahoma, concluding a rewarding tenure dedicated to serving our nation's military personnel.
Outside of the office, Dr. Dixon enjoys family life with his spouse Erika, also from Montpelier, and their five children. The family cherishes their time together engaging in various outdoor activities such as sports, skiing, and fishing.
Lindy - RDH
I have always had a passion for dental care. I worked as a dental assistant through high school and continued that career path as I became a dental hygienist. I attended Weber State University and graduated in 2009.
I have always loved connecting with patients and assisting them in taking control of their own health and wellness. One of my favorite parts about dentistry is the relationships I build with patients and my coworkers. It is what makes me excited to come to work every day.
I love spending time with my husband and three kids. We enjoy the outdoors, horses, rodeo, hunting, and the kids participate in many extracurricular activities. I have a passion for helping others and empowering them to take control of their health and wellness. I assist them with this by providing hope and healing through natural solutions. I use Doterra essential oils as the vehicle to do this.
I love what I do and am proud to be part of an amazing team at Canyon Creek Dental.
Katie - RDH
I grew up in Richmond, Utah and have been working in dentistry my entire life. My mom worked in a dental office when I was young and often took me there to help. After graduating from Weber State University in 2005, I started my career in Preston and have been working here since then. I love working with fun dental team members who focus on giving quality care.
I currently live in Smithfield with my husband and our two daughters. Outside of work I enjoy fly fishing, traveling, gardening, and baking. My greatest joy has been watching my children grow and learn while they develop hobbies of their own.
Kristen - Assistant
I have been a dental assistant for 15+ years. I was raised in Riverdale (just north of Preston) and I love the area so much that me and my husband now live there with our four kids. When I am not at work you can find me out on my horses or RzR riding in the mountains. I look forward to meeting you and your family and making your dental experience here at Canyon Creek Dental exceptional!
Julie - Assistant
I have been a dental assistant for over 8 years. Getting to know people is the best part of my job. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories. I have four grown children and six adorable grandchildren. When I am not in the office, you can find me outdoors helping my husband on the ranch or taking pictures of beautiful things.
